[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1723905, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome to the forum, These two readings are the same, just in different measurement units. Before 2011 all we had was DCCT, which was the glucose levels expressed as a percentage, so that is your 11.7%. Since then the method of measuring changed and is now expressed in mmol/mol, which is your 104mmol.mol. Lab reports usually show the result in both measurement types. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] It gets even more confusing because finger prick meters measure in mmol/l in the UK (different again in other countries) and if you have a plasma glucose test this will also be in mmol/l. Very confusing, but you will soon get your head round it. [/QUOTE]
